Intel® Xeon® Processor 3400 Series Datasheet, Volume 1
• Re-issues Configuration cycles that have been previously completed with the 
Configuration Retry status.
• PCI Express reference clock is 100-MHz differential clock.
• Power Management Event (PME) functions.
• Dynamic lane numbering reversal as defined by the PCI Express Base Specification.
• Dynamic frequency change capability (2.5 GT/s - 5.0 GT/s)
• Dynamic width capability
• Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI and MSI-X) messages.
• Polarity inversion.
1.2.3
Direct Media Interface (DMI)
• Four lanes in each direction.
• 2.5 GT/s point-to-point DMI interface to PCH is supported.
• Raw bit-rate on the data pins of 2.5 GB/s, resulting in a real bandwidth per pair of 
250 MB/s given the 8b/10b encoding used to transmit data across this interface. 
Does not account for packet overhead and link maintenance.
• Maximum theoretical bandwidth on interface of 1 GB/s in each direction 
simultaneously, for an aggregate of 2 GB/s when DMI x4. 
• Shares 100-MHz PCI Express reference clock.
• 64-bit downstream address format, but the processor never generates an address 
above 64 GB (Bits 63:36 will always be zeros).
• 64-bit upstream address format, but the processor responds to upstream read 
transactions to addresses above 64 GB (addresses where any of Bits 63:36 are 
nonzero) with an Unsupported Request response. Upstream write transactions to 
addresses above 64 GB will be dropped. 
• Supports the following traffic types to or from the PCH
— DMI -> PCI Express Port 0 write traffic
— DMI -> PCI Express Port 1 write traffic
— DMI  ->  DRAM
— DMI -> processor core
 
(Virtual Legacy Wires (VLWs), Resetwarn, or MSIs only)
— Processor core -> DMI
• APIC and MSI interrupt messaging support
— Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI and MSI-X) messages
• Downstream SMI, SCI, and SERR error indication.
• Legacy support for ISA regime protocol (PHOLD/PHOLDA) required for parallel port 
DMA, floppy drive, and LPC bus masters.
• DC coupling – no capacitors between the processor and the PCH.
• Polarity inversion.
• PCH end-to-end lane reversal across the link.
• Supports Half Swing “low-power/low-voltage” and Full Swing “high-power/high-
voltage” modes.
1.2.4
Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI)
The PECI is a one-wire interface that provides a communication channel between 
processor and a PECI master, usually the PCH.
